Nicole Barron is Editor-In-Chief of Lifestyle Frisco and a proud native of North Texas. When she's not flashing her Lifestyle Frisco name badge at fun happenings around the city, she can be found chasing her 3 kids, attending a yoga class, listening to live music with her husband, at church, or sorting out life one load at a time in her laundry room (otherwise known as the room which time forgot.)

Hi there Brandi! We agree with you! If we had known the list, we definitely would have published it. Please reach out directly to the President of the Downtown Merchants Association, Mark Piper, as he can definitely answer your question. president@downtownfrisco.org
